To balance the rather serious nature of this morning’s post about the rally against hate at the State House (I can’t even put into words how disturbing it is that these calls for action are even necessary), here’s a bit of humor.
I’m sure every gay or lesbian couple reading this has at one time been asked which one of them is the fork. By the way, when I’ve been asked that question in the past my response has been, “fork you”, always said with a smile of course.
As a response to a disturbing number of hate crimes that have been reported around the country since the results of the Presidential election, our community is coming together today from 11AM – 12PM to speak out against hate. The event will feature Attorney General Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh, Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg, Boston City Councilor Josh Zakim
The purpose of the event is to send a message that irrespective of politics or who you supported in the election this kind of behavior is not acceptable and does not represent who we are as a city, state, or country. 
I realize this may be difficult for you to attend, but for more information you can contact Norman Abbott at nabbott@adl.org or (617) 406-6382.

Shoes: Pleasure and Pain
On view November 19, 2016 to March 12, 2017
The Peabody Essex Museum (P.E.M.) in Salem has an exhibit for all you fashionistas and shoe fanatics with their latest exhibit, Shoes: Pleasure and Pain.
According to the exhibit’s webpage, you can “explore the creativity of footwear from around the globe through more than 300 pairs of shoes, ranging from elaborate vintage designs to those by contemporary makers.”
The exhibit cannot but help remind me of this YouTube classic.

Earlier this week Massachusetts’ Attorney General, Maura Healy, announced the State would launch a new hotline to report harassment and intimidation of minority groups. Residents are encouraged to call 1-800-994-3228 or fill out a civil rights complaint form online if they witness or experience bias-motivated threats, harassment or violence against racial, ethnic and religious minorities, women, immigrants and lesbian, gay and transgender individuals.
Healey, an openly gay Democrat, said she’s launching the hotline after reports that people across the country have been targeted and harassed since the election of Donald Trump as president.
